Abstract
In some embodiments a second electronic device with which an output device is associated facilitates associating the output device with a first electronic device. In some embodiments, a second electronic device that is associated with an additional user facilitates associating the additional user with a first electronic device.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- at a first electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
- receiving, via the one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to initiate a setup process for the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate the setup process for the first electronic device, initiating the setup process for the first electronic device, wherein the setup process includes:
- in accordance with a determination that a respective output device, through a first communication link, is in communication with a second electronic device that is in communication with the first electronic device:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the one or more criteria including a criterion that is satisfied when the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the respective output device are associated with a same user account, causing display of a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process to set the respective output device as an output device for the first electronic device, wherein the process includes activating a second communication link between the first electronic device and the respective output device that is different from the first communication link;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria are not satisfied, forgoing displaying the selectable option.
5 more elements
A first electronic device, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- and
- one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving, via one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to initiate a setup process for the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate the setup process for the first electronic device, initiating the setup process for the first electronic device, wherein the setup process includes:
- in accordance with a determination that a respective output device, through a first communication link, is in communication with a second electronic device that is in communication with the first electronic device:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the one or more criteria including a criterion that is satisfied when the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the respective output device are associated with a same user account, causing display of a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process to set the respective output device as an output device for the first electronic device, wherein the process includes activating a second communication link between the first electronic device and the respective output device that is different from the first communication link;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria are not satisfied, forgoing displaying the selectable option.
8 more elements
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, cause the first electronic device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to initiate a setup process for the first electronic device;
- and
- in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to initiate the setup process for the first electronic device, initiating the setup process for the first electronic device, wherein the setup process includes:
- in accordance with a determination that a respective output device, through a first communication link, is in communication with a second electronic device that is in communication with the first electronic device:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more criteria are satisfied, the one or more criteria including a criterion that is satisfied when the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the respective output device are associated with a same user account, causing display of a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process to set the respective output device as an output device for the first electronic device, wherein the process includes activating a second communication link between the first electronic device and the respective output device that is different from the first communication link;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more criteria are not satisfied, forgoing displaying the selectable option.
